Fulani also have some type of &quot;Berber Ancestry&quot;, It could be quite high, estimated at 30% or more at times but is not characterized in Fulani by the presence of E-M81/H1/U6.....lineages characteristic of Berber Ancestry. Instead Fulani are mostly characterized by E-m2, E-m33, and typical West African specific MTdna.<br /><br />Looking at the Ancient DNA record of Europe the mutation may not be European at all.<br /><br />That said Southern Africans do not carry the LP mutation East Africans share with Arabians but rather a more African specific LP mutation. The LP Mutation has yet to be found in Southern Sudanese Nilotes.astenbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06946446840115831804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-86506012935397837702014-03-19T03:27:25.891+02:002014-03-19T03:27:25.891+02:00Any thoughts on the Fulani having the European/Nor...Any thoughts on the Fulani having the European/North Indian LP trait?Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07906194112935320590noreply@blogger.com
